The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your heating and cooling system is the key to a sense of comfort and high air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work tirelessly in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your indoor air. Lots of homeowners take this functionality for granted until they’re suddenly left without them. If your AC has ever stopped working on a scorching summer day, or the furnace can’t generate enough heat during a blizzard, you can understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner likes to deal with last minute repairs, high energy bills or inconsistent home comfort. What if you could ensure an uninterrupted source of clean, climate controlled air when you want it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in handy. Like receiving an oil change for your car, consistent tune-ups are a must for keeping your HVAC system up and running. And to get the most from each maintenance visit, you should think about enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.

This agreement is an arrangement between you and the HVAC contractor. Participation takes the guessing out of HVAC service by supplying routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled visits and other perks. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t mandatory to request tune-ups with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, but we highly endorse registering. Here are six reasons why.

1. Automated Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets busy, so people often forget about setting up furnace maintenance in the fall and air conditioning maintenance in the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll be sent consistent reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re not sure why HVAC maintenance is so important, check out these benefits:

• Reveal small problems early on: Issues with your heating and cooling tend to progress little by little. When a technician checks the internal components annually, it’s possible to pinpoint and take care of small problems before they become big headaches.
• Lower the risk of equipment failures: By securing that loose fan belt and evening out the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the chance of a sudden breakdown decreases.
• Smaller repair costs: Scheduled HVAC maintenance is an affordable, expected expense that minimizes the need for most major repairs.
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that once-a-year maintenance can increase HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, bringing down your heating and cooling bills in the process.

• Increase home comfort: When your heating and cooling system operates the way it should, airflow improves for even temperatures and more comfortable humidity in your home.
• Lengthen the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can last years longer compared to a neglected one, saving you on untimely replacement equipment.
• Guarantee safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during every visit delivers peace of mind that your HVAC system is performing as intended.
• Adhere to your warranty: The bulk of HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance so much that they require yearly tune-ups to keep your warranty in good standing. Investing a little in maintenance now shields you from expensive repairs that your warranty would otherwise cover.

2. Priority Service

Having an HVAC maintenance agreement puts you at the front of the line when you schedule an emergency repair. You can typically expect same-day service—even during nights, weekends and holidays—thanks to 24/7/365 guaranteed priority service for members.

3. Priority Install

Planning to replace your home comfort system? An HVAC agreement gives you access to the most rapid installs available, even during the busiest weeks.

4. Discounted Repairs and Services

Regular maintenance lowers the need for repair work, but if your system needs some professional attention, having an HVAC maintenance plan entitles you to a 15% discount. You’ll also receive 15% off indoor air quality products, like pleated filters, whole-house humidifiers and charged media air cleaners.

5. Repair Guarantee

How can you ensure the technician has executed a job well done? Put your mind at ease with a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all repairs and installations for one year. If the results leave you unhappy, your technician will return to correct things.
